NO.
When I was pregnant with my youngest, I compulsively did a peyote necklace about Matinee length. It was so difficult to get it right. I passed the thread through twice, once to add a bead and the second time to add another bead one row lower. Top and bottom rows can have 3 pass throughs with the thread to finish them.
I did a little research on tubular peyote stitch. All the explanations were too difficult to understand. This stitch is traditionally learned as hands on, being shown by an expert and copying their moves.
If you want 24 beads in diameter. String on all 24 beads (this is your first and second row too. For the third row add a bead to the thread and then through the first bead of the first row. Add a bead and go through the 3rd bead. Continue on adding beads and picking up every other bead to make row 2 until you finish the round. You will now have first and third row aligned with the second row going in between. It comes out as the brick pattern.
